Services A-Z
Nantwich Players was founded in 1927 as Nantwich Play-Reading Circle and is a registered charity. Their main activities are producing seven plays a year (one always staged by the Youth Theatre) and holding regular Tuesday social events.
Each play has a different director, and every single play involves new members in one role or another. They are always looking for new members so if you can, or would like to, act, paint, sew, design, serve behind the bar or many other activities that take place off-stage, get in touch.
This is a hobby which can take a lot or a little of your time. Why not give it a try?
The theatre seats 82 people all with a good view of the stage. Five plays and a Youth Theatre production each year means that the building is in almost constant use.
Rehearsals are held on Mondays and Thursdays for the main productions, while the Youth Theatre rehearse and hold workshops during their Friday meetings. Social events take place on Tuesdays. Five Newsletters are sent out each year to Members and Friends.
The Youth Theatre has its own programme of events including theatre workshops and the opportunity to take part in the senior productions.
Actual dates are given on the Nantwich Players website. Tickets will be held at the Theatre on the day of performance if you cannot collect them earlier.
Blackadder Goes Forth

The Tempest
Fri 27 June 2025 – Sat 5 July 2025
Prepare to be transported to a magical world with William Shakespeare’s The Tempest at Nantwich Players.
Vintage Shakespeare, where old enmities are confronted, new romances blossom, and comic and serious plots intertwine. Set on a South Pacific island that Shakespeare had never seen but vividly imagined, the play features mythical creatures, music, and dance, reflecting the spirit of exploration of the time.
Join us for an evening of enchantment as this timeless tale of power, forgiveness, and love unfolds.
Directed by Garth Jones, performances will be at 7:45pm on 27th June – 5th July 2025. Tickets priced at £11 will be on sale from Ticketsource (01270 600727) or online from Tuesday 3rd June at 9am.
